What other uses have you found for your jeep? This week I was up in PA hunting and shot a deer. I started dragging it down to the house when I thought "why am I doing this when I have a jeep"? I walked back to the house and got the LJ and drug the deer through the woods with the jeep. Alot more fun and not as much work! ;D Yea.....I didn't get pics so I will go ahead and do it..............  Anyone used there jeep for something other than wheeling or recoveries? |

I used mine to pull 3 big stumps this summer...although the winch did most of the work!!!
I also use mine as a recovery/rescue/ambulance for my ATV club. So far I've only had to tow one quad out of the dunes with it...not looking forward to the day it has to become an ambulance...

I used mine to pull out bushes that had been in the ground for 40 years. I used the recovery strap, to the rear tow hook. I got all but one. It was to big. I had all 4 wheels turning on pavement and they just spun. So I gave up and told the son in law he would have to dig his last bush out. It wasn't worth breakingbthe Jeep for.

I'm currently in Lake Charles, LA and the new LJ came in handy after hurricane Rita. (It was that little storm that hit after Katrina that destroyed most of the western LA and eastern TX coastline. It was just a footnote on the news.-soap box over) The LJ helped drag all of my fence and other debris off of my property.

Wow....good to see I am not the only one pulling bushes out with my Jeep. I use an old cheapy tow strap that I bought for my first TJ. I have taken out at least 5 or 6 bushes that would have taken hours to dig out. Then I just keep the strap wrapped around them and drag them to the woods in the back of my yard. Its been a life saver!

I pulled out the base of a concrete set of stairs.
I also stood on teh roof to hang christmas lights in my tree.
I always use it as a ladder, and I have pulled stumps as well.

Today I had a Two-fer. I used the Jeep to tow a car stuck in the snow, and I had to force the LSD to engage to do it. My wife and I were following a friend in her Toyota sedan, and she got stuck going up a snowy hill. Being the ever resourceful Jeep owner, I hooked the tow strap to my rear tow hook, and to her factory tow-point. It was slippery enough that even with her tires spinning, I could not move both vehicles up the hill....so I borrowed a trick from the Forums here, and lightly held down the brake as I gave the Jeep some gas. Instantly, both vehicles started moving up the Hill. I am just glad we were there, as our friend would've been SOL if we weren't there. We were in a remote area, late at ngiht, and the chances of another car coming along were slim.
